I came back to a town

In a year of my life

To nothing the same as before

I tried to recapture

Those early beginnings

But time had barred shut every door


I came back to a town

The first haven I knew

I never would see it again

Like Mr. Wolfe said

Nobody finds it

It's gone just like yesterday's wind


I came back to a town

That nurtured and reared me

Now only the memories unfold

While one lonely figure

In all the shop windows

Seemed utterly lost in the cold
